@og_swampy If that’s your argument, then why would a 10mph breeze change the direction that the smoke/ steam is going?
Surely that’s not strong enough to overcome moving at “1000mph”, right?
Don’t be dumb.
@benwehrman The outside of the capsule doesnt reach 5000 degrees though. The avcoat heat shield does. It doesnt transfer heat. It heats up and ablates throughout reentry while traveling through -80 temps.
Make sure you understand what youre talking about before outing yourself as an idiot
@TheFlatEartherr The avcoat shield absorbed the heat and ablated throughout reentry. The actual capsule ever got that hot. Then add in it had several minutes of traveling through below freezing atmosphere and it’s not hard to understand why.
You just don’t want to.
@JohnSartoriTV Highlight of a Lifetime??? Guys hit walk offs every day.
Just because you cover the vols, doesn’t mean you have to blow everything they ever do out of proportion.
Hitting for the cycle in Omaha, now that was a highlight.
@chlinimuuus@HUBBABUBBADOOP1@TheFlatEartherr@fluke_O_fluke99 The backshell is protected by roughly 970 to 1,300 black, CNC-machined silica fiber thermal protection tiles. Similar to the material used on the shuttles.
The chutes are made of Kevlar and nylon and are protected by a titanium cover. The Kevlar also provides heat protection.
@MmisterNobody You realize that’s a fake image, right? What am I saying, of course you don’t.
None of the crew got out with helmets on, there is no stabilizer ring, and there is no front porch for the crew to step out onto.
@courtyardpitty@MmisterNobody The divers retrieved the chutes. The inflatable balls inflate after splashdown to prevent the capsule from sinking. Look up “Gus Grissom, Liberty Bell 7”.
Just TRY to learn something.
@MmisterNobody Good Lord guys, the actual capsule doesn’t reach 5000 degrees. The avcoat heat shield does. It doesn’t transfer heat to the capsule so the capsule ever has to actually cool down from that temp.
@flatsmackin The outside of the capsule doesn’t reach 5000 degrees though. The avcoat heat shield does. It doesn’t transfer heat. It heats up and ablates throughout reentry.

@javierellob0 They were in the water for 50 minutes before the divers approached.
The avcoat shield acts as an insulator and absorbs the heat and ablates as it throughout reentry. The heat isn’t transferred to the capsule.
Pay attention and quit making shit up.
@BenjaminOmer3@hunter_hellman@OwenBenjamin@MSGinPA The capsule itself isn’t heating. The avcoat shield acts as an insulator and absorbs the heat and ablates it throughout reentry. The temp inside the capsule stays at a comfortable 75 degrees. This is LI-900 and acts in a similar way to the avcoat…
@chlinimuuus@HUBBABUBBADOOP1@TheFlatEartherr@fluke_O_fluke99 It’s called Avcoat. Its made of silica fibers within an epoxy-phenolic resin injected into a honeycomb structure. Its specifically designed to char and erode and insulate the actual capsule. It absorbs heat, it doesnt transfer keeping the inside of the capsule around 75 degrees.
